Valve portfolio built on innovations

In 1973, Antti Nelimarkka, the creative engineer behind Neles range of valves, came up with an idea that was fine-tuned until production commenced in 1975. For the valves to be more reliable in demanding conditions and applications, Nelimarkka thought of using a metallic seat ring instead of a rubber one—and the game-changer was born.

How to boost compressor performance

If you’re involved in manufacturing compressors or turbos, you know the future is bright. Industrial use of compressed gas and air is growing steadily. The latest financial reports forecast this market’s vigorous growth because all gases are produced using large, powerful piston, screw or turbo compressors. New and refurbished compressors and auxiliary devices are increasingly needed in different applications. This includes their use in gas separation plants, the growing number of gas turbines around the world, the increasing use of LNG on vessels, in pneumatic equipment or even the development of new petrochemical processes.

Optimizing valve maintenance using condition analysis

Typically in shutdown situation the amount of valves to be maintained is limited in order to meet maintenance budget. Valve maintenance can be optimized by using condition analysis to focus maintenance actions to only devices needing attention.

Fugitive emission control creates site efficiency

From end-user point of view, perhaps even more important than the selected standards and simple compliance with ever-tightening environmental regulations, are the other benefits provided by the low fugitive emission valve designs.

Advanced metathesis unit valves support reliable propylene production

Metathesis is one of the most common propylene production methods, but it can only be profitable if the production unit is reliable. So how do you ensure the reliability of your metathesis unit? For one thing, it means a unit supported with top-quality valves specifically selected for their purpose.

Flow control solutions for ethylene cracker furnaces

This is Part 1 of our series of three posts on valve selection for ethylene cracking. Ethylene is a basic building block in the chemical industry, and is the link between chemical companies and petroleum refiners. An ethylene plant, also well known as a steam cracker, is often and correctly called an olefin plant because of the fact that the end products are primarily olefins, mainly ethylene, propylene and butadiene.

The flow around us

Did you know that approximately 75% of world's pulp flows through Neles' valves? Read more about the meaning of valves and our story.

Körber’s TMOM helps converters optimize resources & reduce waste through digitalization

Tissue manufacturers and converters of all sizes need to identify and execute performance improvements based on data collection and analysis and move away from manual controls over quality and maintenance and toward integrated, automated systems wherever they can.

How Valmet solutions help manufacturers overcome the challenges of 3 ongoing supply chain disruptions

As some West Coast port congestion eases in the United States, there’s reason to believe that the paper industry supply chain is showing signs of righting itself. That may ultimately be the case, but the sheer reach and impact of the disruption indicates no quick fix is on the horizon.
